“Superspreader event.”

Dumbest propaganda phrase ever said.

People are dropping masks faster than the virus ever spread. I think the libs will pay a price for dragging this on and on.

Same here. Never was really into auto-racing but the Indy 500 was an annual event where neighbors would get together and BBQ while blasting the radio feed on the stereo, then we'd all watch the tape-delay on ABC sports later in the day.

Good times.

...so much of those "patriotic" events/vibes are gone now.

Everything liberals/liberalism touches...turns into shyte.

Not trying to pick nits, but the ‘noose fiasco’ was NASCAR. This is IndyCar. Two different things.

The sadly ironic thing is...I still like NASCAR. I don’t get to watch it very often. And for once, a sponsor of one of the cars happens to be something I work for.

The #23 Doordash.

Which happens to be driven by....Bubba Wallace.

*facepalm*

135K is practically empty.

That was a good size F1 crowd at the track. I don't think the last race at the track got anywhere near that after the tire fiasco the year before.

I always used to like watching the Victory dinner. Haven’t seen that in years.

We used to go out to the track a lot for time trials. Get a suntan, watch the people, have a couple few dranks. LOL It was a yearly fun thing.

Remember how crazy it was when the infield was open? People packed in there. Guys would have couches on the backs of their trucks. Grills fired up all over the place.

Everything is ruined now. The fun has been removed from almost everything. If the left would just disappear.

Imagine that. Stupid face muzzles at the Indy 500 are for silly pussies.

So much for following the science. Several days ago I saw a woman and her 5 year old riding on a bicycle wearing masks in our gated community located on the ocean. Some people have become so traumatized they will never give up their masks, which really don’t work anyway. Imagine what it is doing to our children.

Yeah. I went to one of the F1 races. It was a crummy day. Cold and wet. The tire mess was typical of the F1 drama Queens and Americans lost interest quickly.

“Big Drip.”

I had better luck with the F1 races. Went to the 500 twice and got rained out

Roger that Kabar...

If you only get your news and information from CNN, MSNBC, or the Relic MEDIA...

...you are likely to wear at least one mask even if you are vaccinated...

...how do you spell stoopid...???

F1 races in the rain, Indy does not, so they delay usually to Monday. That only happened to me a couple of times in about 15 years. The problem with the race being in the rain is that so are you.

It was the 97 race. There are a few other multi day delays.

I sure hope nobody uses a garage door pull. There will be an influx of national cops to investigate.

Interesting,
Can you imagine
During a Pit Stop,
masked,
Changing a tire?
